CUFF.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 234,361, dated November9, 1880. Application filed J une 5, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL W. WILSON, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuffs, ofwhich the followingis a specification.

Myinvention relates to the detachable cuffs which are commonly worn bymen and women.

The object of my invention is to so construct a cuff that it may byreversal be made to present a different appearance.

1 am well aware that ends designed to be reversed end for end have beenprovided at one end with corners different from the cor ners at theother end.

My invention consists in a cuff having corners longitudinally oppositeof different configurations, and adapted and designed to be lapped andsecured with one corner only visible, so that the corners may bedifferently lapped to present the appearance of different cuffs.

In also consistsin a detachable and reversible cuff having itslongitudinally-opposite corners at one end of different configurations,and adapted and designed to be lapped and secured with one corner onlyvisible, so that the corners may be differently lapped to present theappearance of different cuffs, and having the corners at its oppositeend different in configuration from those first named.

In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are plan views of twocuffs, forming a pair, embodying my invention; and Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6are perspective views of one of the cuffs with its corners differentlylapped and its ends reversed.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all thefigures.

The cuffs may be of ordinary or other suitable materials andconstruction, except as regards the configuration of the corners. Onecorner, A, may have a long curve, another corner, B, may have a short orabrupt curve, another corner, O, may be cut off obliquely, and theremaining corner, D, may be square.

It will be seen that the corners longitudinally opposite at each end areof a different configuration, and that provision is thus afforded forchanging the appearance of the cuff by merely lapping the oppositecorners either over the other. By also reversing the cuff end for endand lapping the corners at the end presented to view more changes in theappearance of the cuff will be made.

In Fig. 3, the corner A, having the long curve, is outermost andpresented to view when the cuff is in use, in Fig. 4 the abruptlyroundedcorner B is outermost and will be presented to view; in Fig. 5 theoblique corner O is outermost and will be exposed to view, and in Fig. 6the square corner D is outermost and will be visible.

It will be noticed on reference to Figs. 1 and 2, that the cuffs of apair are reversely formed, so as to be rights and lefts. This isnecessary in order that when reversed they may be Worn in corresponding.positions on both wrists.

It will be seen that by my invention I pro vide for varying theappearance of cuffs a great deal to suit the taste or caprice of thewearer, and without adding to the cost of or in any way impairing thecuffs.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. A cuff having longitudinally-opposite corners of difi'erentconfigurations, and adapted and designed to be lapped and secured withone corner only visible, so that the corners may be differently lappedto present the appearance of different cuffs, substantially asspecified.

2. A detachable and reversible cuff having its longitudinally-oppositecorners at one end of different configurations, and adapted and designedto be lapped and secured with one corner only visible, so that thecorners may be differently lapped to present the appearance of differentcuffs, and having at its 0pposite end corners different in configurationfrom those first named, substantially as specified.
